Pink Floyd - One Of These Days (Animated Clip 1973)

[essertpitay]

This was done by a French dude, wasn't it ?

[JohnnyPaton]

Surely the boys had a look at that and thought...that's pure shite. The ballet dancers ruin the song.

[LucianCreep]

I love how you get a fraction of a second of Rick Wakeman's back at the beginning of the video. It must have been a tough choice to tape over that.

[NolanKevin7]

I used to have a nice clean copy of this on VHS. It got stolen and I could never find it again. I wish I could find a perfect copy. Nice to see it here though.

[TylorDeal]

One of these Days Alice One of These Days!

[ishnox]

So, this is what LSD is... Interesting.

[TioVouche]

10 people don't like to cut into little pieces.

[angelgergov]

this is not a music , its a revolution !

[MikiHanavi]

Hey, clip was first played on Old Grey Whistle Test television program. Lp's didn't use to have video footage, editors chose odd films to back music up on TV (see also Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells on the program with German ski film).

No wonder, beat & film don't always match!

It's still amazing how much of a kick start the clip gave Pink Floyd's art work later.

[Juultjuh]

The dance in the animatics dont fit in the music... when i hear one of these days, i see a rise of a new nation who is at war with an older nation.... then it escalete, the tension starts to build. So finally one leader says "One of these days i'm going to cut you into little pieces", a fierce battle between the two sides starts. The guitar solo represents the one who is on the winning side. And the song ends with an result with both sides dead.

and the song ends with an undefined result.

[Metalfanseries]

Very good Progressive Music :D

[chretienproduction]

the fuck is that? that animation ruined an amazing song

[happyjack585]

tripped up!! the voice in the middle kinda sounds like chewbacca.

[valdersong]

pinky es la puta ostia lo mejor para andar pacheco

[sedna420]

god i wish i could have seen these guyz in the early 70s... i also wish that i was alive than lol

[Herlrzax]

Pink Floyd The Best

[hornstra1]

Too bad Bill doesn't also use the music.

[cammash]

awsome>

[peejaa]

Silly!

[SmackeralJoe]

I love the footage. Not as meaningful as the animated footage of the Wall.

[fofun90]

one of these days im going to chop you up into little pieces

[agentoxide]

i think its "cut you" not "chop you"

[WhiteFuryFlame]

@agentoxide I'm pretty sure stab you into little pieces not cut, nor is it chop.

[jerry321999]

I think we just figured out where Microsoft got its ideas for some of the screen-savers for Windows.......

[odderbest]

the music video reminds me of rez

[krajbhan]

psychedelic!!

[MrFloydPink]

yes of course :O))

[p4r0d5]

io me lo ricordavo questo video: ero piccolo e i miei avevano ancora la tv in bianco e nero. lo passavano in tv ad una trasmissione di musica (infatti alla fine si vede che parte un altro filmato). Sarà stata la fine dei 70'. chissà che trasmissione era poi....

[krong666]

Way ahead of their time.

And way ahead of OUR time too!

Pink Floyd are the future...still

[usuck1989]

I love Pink Floyd, but after a while I wanted to cut those dancers into little pieces.

[j0hnasd]

i see dancing pixels

[MrFloydPink]

ahh yes the famous yet unheard of dancing pixels, i hear they packed up and went to live on the isle of sky selling smoked haddock.

[kaledrealmanofsteel]

At this very moment I'm drunk!!!

...And having a ball with this!!!!

Thanks for share!!!

(Christ!, i'm beginning to hallucinate!!!)

[unnannonelluretra]

una canzone allucinante e splendida

[unnannonelluretra]

questo video è incredibile.............

[redheadgirl121983]

Gotta love Pink Floyd.

[Anthmurphy]

If anyone knows where to get (or has) a good quality version of this drop me a msg... cheers

[Anthmurphy]

jesus,  this is class....

[fcinter1983]

HAVE A GOOD TRIP!!!

[svesse2]

Great song, but the video is quite silly

[brenbullock]

I first discovered this song on my way home while coming down off my first acid experience. My friend described it as the most intense song he had ever heard. At the time we agreed it was the best song ever made even though it had no lyrics. Of course then came "one of these days I'm going to cut you into little peices!" Anyone know where I can find this on DVD or even just better quality?

[KennethVJ]

Hello! I can recommend these following solutions:

Pink Floyd 1971 album "Meddle"; their 1988 album "Delicate Sound of Thunder" and/or their 1971 DVD "Live At Pompeii" (fantastic live experience) and/or their quite recently edited DVD "Pulse." Best, KennethVJ

[AZNman11111]

the most intense song i ever heard was zeppelins achilles last stand

[kattastrofe]

Sorry, Floyd fans, but although Pink Floyd is my favorite band, Achilles Last Stand is the most intense musical experience I've ever had too.

[WHYNOTTTTTTyeah]

i would have to agree to disagree with you

[mmuren94]

Achilles last stabd us a great song. But, One of These Days is the most intense musical experience of all time.

[kattastrofe]

The truth is that both are amazing.

[carlguitar69]

Yup!

[bloodshotcomedy]

its not one of these days its pink floyd. Every song they made is a feeling or cluster of them traslated into music, the fact that pink is controling your emotion based on what they were feeling when they played the song thats whats intense

[smokeyb123]

P.S. the cartoon was titled " french windows"...wow... i need a doob

[smokeyb123]

LMAO i saw this at a movie house in cleveland, part of the fantastic animation festival... stoned out of my head of course... first time i ever heard this song.. of course i went and bought all the floyd albumbs up to that point... it was 1975 i believe

[wombatzzzz]

looks like something I saw years ago at an animation festival

[agentoxide]

thanx for the info

[ProductionX]

By the way, the title of the animation itself is called "French Windows".  I have the film on 16mm in my collection. It was produced by Ian Emes.

Not what I would have thought of synching the song with. Pink Floyd's other film stuff done with Storm Thorgson and Gerald Scarffe is much better. I think this may be from a BBC tv show called Old Grey Whistle Test.

Pink Floyd actually provided music for a Ballet company in France in 1972. I've seen some pictures. Very odd, it was Pink Floyd's usual stage show of the time except the stage was lined with dancers in tutus.

[clari73]

Craaaaazzzyyy!!

[bobtoo]

I've seen this a couple of times on VH1 Classic, it works much better on TV and actually fits the tune very well. It reminds me a little of the Let Forever Be video in the way it flows.

[DanielMelton]

nothing like Nick Mason saying "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces"

[RaggedTiger70]

I've always loved this...it's music and video you think couldn't go together, but they do and it looks so weird...who says you can't dance to Pink Floyd? :)

[armccoy]

I love Pink Floyd, but those dancers are just too gay.

[pbassmastap]

agreed

[agentoxide]

i got using shareaza, and it's a bootleg

[king4evans]

ha i love this song .never seen this thou -- wer u get it ..and is it released or just actually a mootleg?
